Old thread, I know, but anyway... the dump does appear to be an incomplete one. I can't find a reference to Meduoer anywhere in it even if I use relative search... unless they compressed the text somehow, possibly.

However, I did make an interesting discovery by inspecting the ROM with a tile editor... namely, the identity of the company responsible for this game.

I'd had some suspicions based on some unlicensed GBC games I'd come across with similar music, but this flat-out proves it.

See the little logo with three diamonds with 'VF' written in it? That's the trademark of an apparently defunct Taiwanese unlicensed game developer named "Vast Fame" (or, in Chinese, 廣譽 Guang Yu). Although their web site no longer exists, parts of it are still out there on the Wayback Machine (for example, here).

forget about the 3in1 business, launch GBALDR while holding the R button and a GBA dumping menu should pop up.

apparantly it works well, however it wil always dump to 32 megabytes (it doesn't detect the proper size) so they shuold be trimmed afterwards. also make sure you have enough room on your R4, so there is no corruption.

worth a shot if you ask me - and if you still have the M3, Boco...

I have this game and am attempting to dump it (using a DS with an M3 Simply) but am not having much success. The dump clearly has part of the game data since if I open it in a tile viewer some data from the opening sequence is visible. But it won't play in any emulator and I doubt the whole game is present.
